We hope that 2017 has started off really well and that it will be a blessed and creative year for you all!

We thank you always for your support, here at Scrap Africa and for providing us with constant inspiration and delight at your projects! We really do love them all! Sadly we can only choose 3 and it was a really tough choice.

Hi, my name is Marina Ignatova, I'm from Russia. Now I'm taking care of my baby
and all the nights can do my favorite thing – scrapbooking! Most of all I like
to create albums. Love
to surprise, enjoy inventing something interesting and creative. Try not to
stand still and learning new things every day! I’m so excited to be a guest
designer on your blog! It's so awesome and so responsible! On
the moodboard I was most inspired by the shades of green, because I already
want spring and heat)) So I’ve created the canvas “Follow your heart”, which
shows a picture of my wedding day. Hopefully I managed to convey my inspiration
to you! Enjoy your creativity!Here's what Marina created.Isn't this just an absolute beauty!!!

Hi
Scrap Africa friends. :) It's my absolute honour an joy to be able to share my
work with you today as a Guest Designer. Thank you wonderful Scrap Africa team
for this amazing opportunity. My name is Aleksandra and I create under the name
"Papermade fairytale. You can find more of my work on my blog over
at: http://papermade-fairytale.blogspot.si/.
I live with my loving husband and my three wonderful children in a small,
beautiful European country Slovenia. I'm 35 years old and have been more
actively crafting for the last 8 years. My art is one of the major parts of my
life and has turned from my hobby into my job that I love. I can not imagine my
day without crafting. I love papers, mixed media supplies, flowers and
chipboards. I am color enthusiast. I love striking and bold color combinations
as well as soft palettes on the other side. My greatest passion is making
constructed 3d projects, mixed media altered art, exploding boxes with
miniature "worlds" inside. But I also love to relax with art
journals, tags, cards and occasionally layouts. I most often search and find my
inspiration in nature and everyday life. Sometimes overflow of my ideas keeps
me awake at night. :) I hope you can find some inspiration in my work.

Thank
you again Denise and all the Scrap Africa Team for this amazing honour and
opportunity. I'm humbled! Thank you!

Thanks ever so much Aleksandra for this divine and gorgeous inspiration! ;-)Please pop over to their respective blogs, to see more of their beautiful work! ;-)Now to see what the Design Team created...

We hope that 2017 has started off really well and that it will be a blessed and creative year for you all!

Sadly we have to choose only 3 and it was a really tough choice.

My name is Marlei Moreira Couto, I'm 72 years
old and I live in the interior of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. I'm a retired
teacher, I've been doing crafts since I was a young girl and I've been
scrapbooking since 2011. I really like the romantic style like shabby, vintage
and, more recently, Mixed Media has got me so captivated. I like to be always
learning something new and to overcome my difficulties ... so I love to
participate in challenges, they are stimulating and I take much of the
inspiration that the designers give us. I do not have an atelier, just a little
corner in my room, very reduced material, but as the will to create is great
I'm inventing ways to continue.

I am very grateful for the invitation to
create something like inspiration for this challenge - I am so looking for
inspiration in you !!! - hoping that my little project will please them.

Thank you very much, Denise! A big hug and all
my admiration and affection! Hugs to the entire Africa Scrap team.
